Cetyl Myristoleate (see-till meer-ist-o-lee-ate) is a medium-chain fatty acid which naturally occurs in a few species of mammals, including mice, sperm whales, and beavers. Fatty acids are the major components of the membranes which surround the cells of our bodies. They are indispensable in the building and maintaining of healthy cartilage. They also promote the production of collagen and proteoglycans which are essential in maintaining and renewing the cartilage matrix. Fatty acids also have a positive effect on your immune system and can be very beneficial to those with an auto-immune disease. Certain fatty acids also help to control inflammation and have recently been found to have a significant effect on the causes, not just the symptoms.
Cetyl Myristoleate is what is known as an immune-o-modulator. It literally acts to regulate the immune system. Figuratively, it resets the clock of certain immune cells. It appears to erase the memory of those 'memory T-cells' which, in the case of arthritis, have been mistakenly programmed to attack your own cartilage. That's why some forms of arthritis are referred to as an 'auto-immune disease' -- because your own body is attacked by its own immune cells. CM does not directly treat the symptoms of arthritis pain and inflammation, it does much more. It acts directly against the cause of arthritis pain and inflammation; it acts directly against those errant T-cells. Once they have been 'reprogrammed' the destruction stops, giving your body the chance to return to normal. Your body can then painlessly begin regenerating and replacing destroyed cartilage.
In the 1970's a curious scientific researcher noticed that a certain type of mouse never gets arthritis. He concluded that there may be some sort of 'arthritis protective factor' in these mice, which prevents them from getting arthritis (and certain other diseases). So a private research project was begun. After several lengthy attempts, this 'arthritis protective factor' was successfully isolated -- cetyl myristoleate.
To test it, cetyl myristoleate (CM) was injected into laboratory rats, who were then injected with an imitating substance which causes them to develop generalized arthritis in their joints. Two groups of rats were used; both received the arthritis-producing substance, and half received CM -- what was hoped to be the 'arthritis protective factor.' None of the rats who received the CM in addition to the arthritis-causing injection showed any traces of arthritis! But all of the rats which received only the arthritis causing injection did develop severe arthritis. In every instance in which arthritis had already started to develop, the cetyl myristoleate prevented it from advancing, once it was administered. What was also exciting is that CM is non-toxic because it is a natural fatty acid, like those found in other non-toxic substances such as butter, cooking oils, paraffin wax, etc.
For the past few years, cetyl myristoleate has only been available to a very small group of people - mostly doctors, who have (sometimes out of desperation), tried it on themselves, their loved ones, and a few select patients. People began reporting that it helped them with osteoarthritis, and with rheumatoid arthritis. Others said that it had helped them with the symptoms of lupus. People with various kinds of liver diseases said they seemed to be recovering. And even some folks who had cancer said they were improving!
Unfortunately, the news of this natural product has been, in a sense, kept secret from the public. It was only available to a very small number of people ... until now.
